Bitterness. In today’s very politically correct cinematic landscape it’s a trait that seems to be missing from the characters in movies as of late. We’re not just talking about everyday angry guys who are out for revenge or vengeance, but rather folks that no matter what the situation they manage to find the down side and unapologetically live and breathe there. And while there have been a plethora of top lists for the meanest and nastiest characters movies have to offer, we’re here to fill the need for curmudgeons who are just plain bitter. Below is a list of the gents who fit the film...

The hierarchy when it comes to acting in Hollywood has historically always placed more importance and gravitas on the work of actors who have appeared on the silver screen when compared to their TV counterparts.

Legendary actors who got their start on TV like Bill Murray (Saturday Night Live), Michael Douglas (The Streets of San Francisco) and Denzel Washington (St. Elsewhere) were only said to have "made it" as huge stars once they were able to transition into movies.

But a strange thing has happened over the last few years - mega movie stars are falling all over themselves to try and ge...

Kate Beckinsale, Jeremy Piven, Peter Krause and Paula Patton all helped the Hollywood Foreign Press with the announcement of the nominees for the 2015 Golden Globe Awards on Thursday morning.

"Birdman," which stars Michael Keaton as a washed-up actor seeking a comeback with a Broadway play, leads the nominations in the movies category, including nods for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy and Best Actor - Musical or Comedy (Keaton).

Keatons' co-stars Emma Stone and Edward Norton are also up for Golden Globes in their respective supporting actress and actor categories. Alejandro Gonza...

At 45, Matthew McConaughey has the kind of life most actors can only dream of - an Oscar for last year's Dallas Buyers Club, a new sci-fi blockbuster, Interstellar, and a gorgeous family he adores. In this week's exclusive cover story, the actor tells PEOPLE, "I ask myself before making a choice, 'What experience am I going to have in this? I give less of a damn about the result." McConaughey takes on the role of writer for PEOPLE this week and shares 10 moments that shaped him -- from lucky breaks to past mistakes -- and what he has learned from marriage and fatherhood. Here are three of t...

Jim Carrey and Kate Hudson nailed impressions of Matthew McConaughey over the past week, with the actress taking on her "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" costar at the 28th American Cinematheque Award honoring the actor at The Beverly Hilton Hotel last Tuesday.

Carrey delivered his own take during a hilarious skit for "Saturday Night Live" this past weekend, poking fun at McConaughey's new Lincoln car ads.

"Sometimes you gotta go back to actually move forward," the actor said in McConaughey's southern drawl while driving the car. "And I don't mean go back and reminisce, or chase ghosts. I me...

Get ready for some intense action in the upcoming film "Interstellar." Matthew McConaughey attended the Los Angeles premiere of the film, calling it "wilder than any other ride I've seen on film." He promised that moviegoers will experience a "hell of a ride."

The movie centers on a farmer who joins a crew of space explorers to find a new planet suitable for human life after global warning causes famine on Earth.

In order to save mankind, they use a newly discovered wormhole and become the first humans to travel beyond our solar system.

Matthew McConaughey was honored with the American Cinematheque Award last evening at the 28th Annual Gala in Los Angeles, with wife Camilla Alves and children Vida and Levi by his side.

The American Cinematheque Award annually honors "an extraordinary artist in the entertainment industry who is fully engaged in his or her work and is committed to making a significant contribution to the art of the motion pictures."

McConaughey has been on a professional high in the past year, winning an both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award for his work in "Dallas Buyers Club."

The 162 game grind is over and the best time of year for baseball fans is here. Soon, we'll all be staring at shots of big time celebrities in the stands at Yankee Stadium...

What's that? The Yankees didn't make the playoffs? Again? Oh, my bad. I just thought with the media talking up Derek Jeter so much that he must have won the Triple Crown and led the Yankees to the division title. Really? He batted .256? You know what, let's move on.

My snark aside, if you want to spot some big time celebrities during the 2014 MLB playoffs this October, you're still in luck even without the Big Apple ...

According to Director Gregory Jacobs, Matthew McConaughey will not be bringing his shirtless self back to the set of the new "Magic Mike" sequel, "Magic Mike XXL."

That readers, is a darn shame!

Jacobs confirmed to IndieWire that the second Magic Mike movie will have returning actors Channing Tatum, Joe Manganiello, Alex Pettyfer and Matt Bomer reprising their roles.

Since McConaughey won an Oscar for "Dallas Buyers Club," word was that he would not return to film a sequel to the wildly popular "Magic Mike." McConaughey, who was the type of actor who defied convention for many years, rep...

In between supporting their favorite charities, actors Brad Pitt and Matthew McConaughey and New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees hung out together on their balconies in the French Quarter of the Louisiana city over the weekend.

At one point Pitt threw McConaughey a beer from opposite balconies, and Brees tossed a football with the "Dallas Buyers Club" star.

On Saturday, Pitt hosted an event for his Make It Right charity, which creates environmentally sound homes in areas of the city that were devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Chris Hemsworth has problems most men would envy. For example, he put on so much muscle while he was preparing to play "Thor" that his costume didn't fit.

The Australian star told the Los Angeles Times in 2011: "I got the part and immediately started looking at the comic books, and the guy is 500 pounds or something and looks like Schwarzenegger. And I thought, 'OK, I'm not gonna get to that.' But I have to get bigger. (The filmmakers) kept saying 'Yeah, get as big as you can, as big as you can.'"

The "Thor" costume was altered to fit his new shape, and movie execs ordered Hemsworth to g...

Nobody's perfect, but it may surprise you to learn some the world's most beloved celebrities have spent time in jail.

Mark Wahlberg is a blockbuster star loved by many now, but in his teens he was a very trouble young man. A drug-addled Wahlberg had dozens of run-ins with the law by the time he was in his teens, but the most serious charge against him came after he attacked two Vietnamese men while shouting racial epithets, leaving one of them permanently blind in one eye. Wahlberg served 45 days behind bars for assault.

Usually it's the women who are objectified in Hollywood, but the men are fair game too! These guys are hard working actors, singers, and athletes who either take time to work out for their six-pack abs or just let nature take its course.

Professional dancers Val and Maskim Chmerkovskiy (pictured above) make sure they're in good shape for "Dancing With The Stars." The two brothers, who were born in the Ukraine, obviously work hard for their physiques.

Some male stars spend a lot of time bulking up at the gym, while others are slim and trim. Check out our gallery of seriously shirtless cele...

All right, all right, all right! He grew up, settled down, and found true happiness with his wife, Camila, 31, and their three children, Levi, 5, Vida, 4, and 15-month-old Livingston.

This week’s issue of PEOPLE goes inside Matthew McConaughey’s super-fun journey -- and what’s next. He embraced marriage and fatherhood, but he still loves those bongos.

Fresh off his magic moment and Best Actor Oscar win, the free-spirited Texan savors his success–and just keeps livin’. “I’m having a ball right now,” the 44-year-old star tells PEOPLE. “I try to give a lot to my life and the people in it,” h...

We are almost into spring and with that, some of our favorite television shows are making their way back onto the small screen. With that, naturally, comes a plethora of hot guys gracing our screens.

With our TV's Sexiest Male Stars of 2014, we aim to give you a piece of the hottest of the hot fellas to give us that extra incentive to watch our favorite shows. Here is what we've got for your viewing pleasure!

Following his win for Best Actor at Sunday night's Oscars, Matthew McConaughey told his wife Camila Alves he wanted to make another baby.

Instead of celebrating his win with his colleagues, the actor was overheard telling her: "We won't stay at the afterparty long - I want to go home and make another baby!"

The couple have three children: Levi, 5, Vida, 4, and 14-month-old Livingston.

An insider told The Sun newspaper: "Matthew wasn't worried about getting drunk, he was more keen to get home with his beautiful wife, which he made quite clear in her ear. It was so lovely to see, though. I...

The first season of True Detective concludes on HBO Sunday, so I thought it was time to say a few words about it. Started a little slow - I guess I was expecting something more along the lines of Criminal Minds and its pacing - but True Detective has become one of my favorite shows in the history of television, with an indelibly philosophic and anguished detective we've never seen the likes of before on TV and likely never will again.

Matthew McConaughey won the Oscar Sunday night for Dallas Buyers Club and he deserves an Emmy and more for his portrayal of Rust Cohle (in 1995 and 2012, and...

Now that he's an Oscar-winner, Matthew McConaughey has said he won't be returning to HBO's True Detective if the network greenlights a second season.

The Dallas Buyers Club star explained that actually he and co-star Woody Harrelson won't be back for a second season because the show's initial pitch to HBO said that the show would be based on a different storyline and a different cast each season.

"We won't be back for season two. Season one was finite," he said backstage at the Oscars. "Eight episodes, that's the EOC (end of conversation)."

It was a transformation both physically and emotionally for Matthew McConaughey for his Academy-Award winning role as HIV patient-turned-activist Rod Woodruff in "Dallas Buyers Club." McConaughey, known more for his laid-back Texas attitude than his stellar film work, felt the time was right to dig his teeth into unchartered territory and the pull to portray this character proved too much. Said McConaughey, "I had a real man [to draw from]. I had his diary from two years before he had HIV. I got his humor from that. I got his humanity from that."

For the most part, the major categories at the Oscars are fairly easy to predict. But some years there are upset winners (‘Shakespeare in Love,’ Marcia Gay Harden, Juliette Binoche, Adrien Brody, to name a few) that remind us that anything can happen.

This year is a little different. Who remembers a year where the race for Best Picture is down to three films, two of which are so close that they tied at the Producers’ Guild? It seems like there are some definite locks this year (Hello, Cate Blanchett) but you read it here: Nothing is guaranteed. Nothing.

Sunday is the night when the Academy thanks veteran actors, directors and newcomers alike during the Oscars. Before that, we are here to give you the scoop on some of the hot guys that are up for contention. Without further ado, here are our top picks for the hottest of the hottest of whom are up for awards on Sunday.

1. Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio made the character of Jordan Belfort in "The Wolf Of Wall Street" believable and cute with a splash of sleaze. Despite that, we would be remiss if we weren't to mention how adorable he is in everything he does. This is the guy who...

Detectives on television aren’t anything new. Procedural TV often follows one case of murder per episode, showing the same police officers week after week solve a crime in the span of 42 minutes. The dark detective genre, however, is a newer phenomenon, only recently popping up frequently on the edgier networks. NBC has Hannibal, AMC tried it with The Killing, and FX aired The Bridge last year. While you can definitely see a show about gruesome murders on CBS, it’s far less likely to see one where the detectives and their own grim lives are the focus.
